14 of this Article shall be asked or required to pay more
under this Sub-section than Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000) in any calendar year and that no licensee licensed
under the provisions of Section 16 of this Article author-

more under this Sub-section than the actual reasonable
amount of such expense and compensation.
